As we enter 2015, I'm thinking about this march, this gyre, this circular progress that moves us two steps forward and one step back. I'm also taking heart in the idea that even as we repeat, even as we move back and forth in time, we are making things new, we are making progress. Without such change, I would not be sitting in this Starbucks, listening to people talk about their frustration with the things the modern evangelical church made their parents do.
